Chapter 373: Cunning Lu Bu (New Year's Greetings)
While Yan Liang was preparing to retreat, Wang Qiang had already dispatched all his troops to surround Xiangping's regiments, and all kinds of siege equipment were also in place. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The morale of the Gongsun Du and the soldiers in the city was completely lost, and a large number of flying soldiers continued to fly through the sky, and from time to time they also shot a lot of arrows.
At this time, Wang Qiang rode Xiao Hei to the city, Wang Qiang roared: "Gongsun Shengji, quickly open the city and surrender, I will spare your life and promise not to hurt a single soldier here, if you are stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
At this time, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Kang were all listening to the city tower, they were also very nervous, and now Gongsun Du didn't know that Yan Liang had begun to retreat to Beiping, and still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Gongsun Du said: "Looking back at the prince, you and I have no grudges, why did you come to seize my city and kill my soldiers, aren't you afraid that General Yuan will send troops to clear you!" ”
Wang Qiang sneered: "It turns out that you still expect Yuan Shao to come to save you, then you will die of this heart, Yan Liang's soldiers have been killed and wounded more than half of them have returned to Beiping, from the moment you seized my caravan personnel and goods, I was destined to come to crusade against you, I want everyone in the world to remember, even if you violate my territory, you will be punished, and you are just the first person I want to clear."
Wang Qiang's words made the soldiers in the city suddenly exaggerate negative emotions, it turned out that it was for this reason that the King of Han came to crusade against Liaodong, the King of Han loved his subordinates and people so much, and what about his lord?
Wang Qiang seemed to feel some changes, so he continued: "Now I will give you twelve hours, tomorrow at this time, if you don't open the city and surrender, don't blame me for not being embarrassed, and you can also see if Yan Liang can come!" ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Qiang turned his horse back to his camp, but he immediately rode Xiaohuo to pick up Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong still had 800,000 cavalry waiting to receive it, and with these 800,000 troops, Huang Zhong did not pursue Yan Liang's troops anymore, Yan Liang's troops were really killed and wounded, and fled back to Beiping with the remaining 3 million soldiers.
It is now summer, and Wang Qiang plans to completely deal with Yuan Shao before the winter comes, at least to finish all the counties in the north when the winter comes, so that the people in these cities can survive the winter in peace.
Not long after Wang Qiang returned, Gongsun Du also received news that the army supported by Yan Liang had indeed been killed and wounded by the silver wolf cavalry sent by Hui, and fled back to Beiping.
Gongsun Du suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be falling, Yan Liang was such a brave general, leading six million elite soldiers, and he was actually beaten and fled in embarrassment by looking back and sending a troop.
And what Tanma said meant that the cavalry looking back defeated Yan Liang without a single soldier, which seemed impossible, but this Tanma was sent by himself, and this situation was impossible to talk nonsense.
Gongsun Du was dumbfounded, Yan Liang's army of 6 million was defeated by a single cavalry, and now there are more than 10 million troops outside Xiangping City.
I thought that with my more than 2 million troops and Yan Liang's 6 million army, I would definitely be able to defeat the head if I refused to defend the city, but now it seems that this is all my wishful thinking, not to mention that there are so many siege equipment in retrospect.
At this time, Gongsun Gong also stepped forward and said: "Brother, if we start attacking the city tomorrow, we will definitely be defeated, so it is better to open the city and surrender, so that we can still save our lives, and maybe we can also keep a half-official position." ”
After listening to Gongsun Gong's words, Gongsun Du also felt that it was the only way to do it, and if he continued to resist stubbornly, it would be too late to look back tomorrow and start attacking the city.
So he ordered the city gate to be opened, led Gongsun Gong and his son Gongsun Kang, and the three of them went out of the city together to Wang Qiang's camp.
As soon as the three of Gongsun Du opened the city gate and came out, Wang Qiang knew it, and he couldn't help but feel that his information was too slow, but his purpose had been achieved, and when the three of Gongsun Du entered the big tent.
Wang Qiang didn't say much, he directly pointed to the three pills on the case and said: "Since you are here, in order to prove your sincerity, take this pill, after taking it, we will be our own people!" ”
The three of them also saw the attributes of the Soul Seal Pill clearly, and couldn't help but hesitate, after taking it, there was no room to turn back, but if they didn't accept it, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of here.
So Gongsun Du took the lead in picking up one and swallowing it, and Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Kang saw that Gongsun Du had taken it, so they both followed suit.
It's simple to come down, Liao Hua stayed in Xiangping to be a Taishou, after three drops of ordinary dragon blood, Gongsun Gong went to Xuansu to be a Taishou, and Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang followed Wang Qiang first, and only 300,000 defenders were released here.
The original more than 2 million soldiers were brought into the space by Wang Qiang for training, and now the reserves in Wang Qiang's space have exceeded 20 million.
After occupying the whole of Liaodong, Wang Qiang did not rush to attack Yuan Shao, but quickly adjusted the personnel and policies of the entire Liaodong, and strengthened trade with the grassland.
And there is an Anping port under the jurisdiction of Xiangping, which can be used to replace the port of Beiping, so that the entire Liaodong and Zhenyuan City of Kebineng can trade through here.
However, this did not mean that Wang Qiang would abandon the trade routes of Beiping, but planned to expand after occupying all the north.
At that time, the entire Xiongnu grassland, including Jixian, Yuyang and other places, will be divided into a trade route with Beiping, so that the trade volume of Beiping will be doubled, and it will be all their own territory in the future, and they will no longer have to pay taxes to anyone in the future.
As soon as the new policy and trade port were launched, a large number of people and merchants soon came, not only the Mi family, but also the Zhen family and the Wei family, and even several big families in Yangzhou formed a caravan.
This kind of business of north-south goods transfer is very profitable, but in order to avoid friction and business conflicts, Wang Qiang specially turned Xun You over to coordinate.
For example, the salt and iron business is government-run, and ordinary merchants cannot interfere, but other businesses are divided into several pieces and handed over to major merchants.
For example, leather, medicinal materials, timber, specialties, etc. in the north, silk, tea, wine, etc. in the south, and then there are restaurants and inns, and even the management rights of green buildings, etc., all of which are contracted separately to a business, and the transportation by sea is, of course, their own exclusive operation.
The fact that these merchants came so quickly was also due to their confidence in Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang's territory has been very stable, the people are rich, and the Mi family, who was the first to cooperate with Hui, has left other merchants far behind.
Another important reason is to look back at what he said to Gongsun Du outside Xiangping City: "Those who violate my territory will be punished even if they are far away." ”
This sentence has been widely spread, and looking back, it is true that the people of their own leadership have not suffered losses, the personnel of Beiping have been detained twice, and they went back to the capital to rescue in person, and each time they will give the other party a hard lesson, this time officially start a war with Yuan Shao, as long as Beiping is taken, then there is no need to worry about it in the future, and the warships of the Han King are invincible at sea, and they have never been invaded by pirates, so everyone has confidence in looking back.
Wang Qiang is in full swing in Liaodong, but Yuan Shao is sad here, judging from Yan Liang's defeat so badly, the combat effectiveness of the army looking back is very strong, not that their so-called elites can be compared.
It is estimated that only Yuan Shao's most elite special troops can be compared, of course, they don't know that this is just wishful thinking.
However, in order to prevent looking back, Yuan Shao still added another 3 million troops to Beiping, so that Beiping has a full army of 15 million, which is definitely the largest number of soldiers in the Han Dynasty at present.
And Beiping is just a high-level county, and Yuan Shao also increased the strength of Jixian and Yuyang to 5 million, in his opinion, he can't beat it anyway.
However, what made him depressed was that Lu Bu of the party got a military advisor named Chen Gong, and Lu Bu didn't listen to him much since Chen Gong came.
Moreover, Huguan between Shangdang and Yecheng has sent heavy troops to guard it, which means that he wants to stand on his own, but now Yuan Shao really can't do anything about Lu Bu, and it is impossible for him to turn his face with Lu Bu now.
Otherwise, if you start a war with Hui on your side, you will be in trouble if you are stabbed by Lu Bu in the back, and you can only scold Lu Bu for being cunning and unrighteous.
